    IRWL or L-ICE
    Question 2 – Top Tips!
    • Re-read the whole paragraph before making selections; choose the best and not those which
    happen to come first. Remember that you are not being asked to write about the whole
    paragraph but only about the language which relates to the particular question.
    • Choose a range of words and phrases that seem powerful. Do not write out whole sentences, but
    also do not give only one word if it is part of a descriptive phrase. Do not write out the beginning
    and end of a long quotation with the key words missing from the middle.
    • Remember to put quotation marks around your choices. This makes it easier for the Examiner to
    identify them and makes it easier for you to focus on the exact wording.
    • Treat each of your choices separately and do not present them as a list or give a general comment
    which applies to all of them.
    • Avoid general comments such as ‘the writer makes you feel that you are really there’ or ‘this is a
    very descriptive phrase’. Such comments will not earn any marks at all.
    • If you are not sure about effects, try to at least give a meaning, in context, for each of your
    choices. That can earn half marks for the question.
    • To explain effects, think of what the reader sees and feels when reading the word or phrase,
    because of the connotations and associations of the language. Often there is more than one
    possible related effect.
    • Include images from each paragraph, and try to explain them (but you do not need to know or
    give their technical names); think about sounds as well as visual effects.
